Letters Patent No. 86,585, dated Februamy 2, 1869.

RESERVOIR cooxmesrovn.

or TROY, NEW YORK.

. The Schedule referred to in these Letters' Patent and making part of the same.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, Gnonen H. PHILLIPS, of Troy, in the county of Rensselaer, and state of New York, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Cook ing-Stoves; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full and correct description of the same, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, which make part of this specification, and in which- Figure 1 is a perspective view of myimproved cooking-stove;

Figure 2 is a longitudinal central vertical section-of the same;

Figure-3 is a detached elevation of the water-reservoir on the back of the stove; and

Figure 4 is a rear elevation of the stove, the waterreservoir being detached.

Like letters of reference indicate like parts in the several figures. v

The nature of my invention consists in the construction of the-water-reservoir at the back of a cookingstove, in such a manner as to form, together with a peculiarly-shaped projection or hollow shaft on the rear plate of the stove, the exit-flue and stove-pipe of the same.

- A, in the drawing, represents acooking-stove of that .class in which a flue passes entirely around the bakeoven, forming an upper flue, a, a lower one, I), a rear one, 0,- and a front one, d. V

The rear plate B of the stove is slightly curved, and

about its centre is provided with a circular opening, c,

. below which, on the outside, is formed a hollow shelf,

or projection, G, which inform resembles the section of a cone, in a central line fromits apex to its base, the line of section being parallel with the centre of the opening e.

Bolted on to, or otherwise secured to the rear of the top plate of the stove, is the reservoir D, its front end I being curved to conform to the shape of rear plate B,

and resting with its bottom on the hollow shelf 0.

In the bottom and front side of this reservoir D is formed, bycasting or otherwise, the one half of a horizontal fine, E, ending in an elbow and vertical pipe, F,

- which passes through the centre of reservoir D, and

out through its top, the lower half of the horizontal flue being formed by the hollow shelf 0.

The reservoir D is provided with lids G, and is intended to be filled with water to be heated.

H is a damper, between partitions I, which, when in a horizontal position, allows the direct draught to be used in connection with the down or lower draught through flue 12, both passing through the reservoir, andthus keeping up an even heat at all times. When, however, the damper H is in a vertical position, the direct draught is shut off, and only the lower draught passes through the reservoir. p

The advantage of the construction of my improved cooking-stove is, that the exit-flue and stove-pipe, being formed so as to pass through the reservoir, and the draught passing on one side and the bottom of the same, the water is not only heated from the exit-flue and stove-pipe, but also at the bottom and front side of the vreservoir; and that a more even heat can be obtained,

as both the direct and the lower draught have to pass through the reservoir.

And by this construction of the reservoir and shelf, sufiioient room is left for a warming or hot closet at the rear of the stove and under the reservoir.

I am aware that the stove-pipe of cooking-stoves has been passed through water-reservoirs, when the latter are secured on the top plate of the stove; also, that the exit-flue and stove-pipe have been passed around the reservoir, the latter, being even with the top plate of the stove. This I do not claim, for in the latter case the construction of a stove is much more expensive and difficult, especiallyin casting; but

What I do claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

l. A water-reservoir, the top of Whichis even with the top plate of the codking-stove, with one half of the horizontal and the whole of the vertical exit-flue passing through the reseivoinin such a manner that the water in the latterentirely surrounds the vertical flue, and covers the. upper part of the horizontal one, substantially as described.

2. In combination with the above, the shelf 0, when constructed to operate as described.

3. A water-reservoir, the top of which is even with the top plate of the cooking-stove, and through which the exit-flue passes, when the stove-pipe is attached to the collar on the reservoir, formed by the upper end at" the vertical part of the exit-flue passing through the reservoir, in such a manner that the products of combustion pass out through the top of the reservoir,

instead of the top plate of the stove. substantially as described.
